Overview

Mission

Heart of the delta supports economic/community development opportunities in the Mississippi delta. Heart of the delta foundation also supports the Mississippi delta through tough times with disaster recovery and disaster relief efforts such as, but not limited to, fundraising.

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
Distribution model
Grant intermediary. The nonprofit sent 70% of its reported program spending out as grants.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
